Carnival Horizon (Sept. 1, 2019)
“PortMiami is closed to inbound traffic. Port officials approved Carnival Horizon to dock this evening to give guests aboard the opportunity to disembark, with the requirement that it depart later tonight. Our request to remain docked in port through Sunday afternoon was denied. Regrettably, guests who are already in town for the September 1 cruise will not be able to board the ship this evening. The port is expected to re-open as early as Monday or as late as Wednesday. Embarkation for your cruise will be delayed and we now plan to operate a shortened cruise, on the day the ship returns to Miami. Given the shortened duration, you may cancel and receive a 100% future cruise credit if you elect not to travel. Guests who elect to sail will receive a pro-rated refund of their cruise fare and any pre-purchased beverage and Wi-Fi packages, along with a refund of any canceled shore excursions. We know how much you are looking forward to your cruise and we sincerely regret this delay. We will provide you with another update as soon as we know when the ship is returning to Miami. Please sign up for text alerts by texting CCL5 to CRUISE (278473).”
